Book Reviews of Executor's Guide: Settling a Loved One's Estate or Trust

Book Review: Provides some help
Summary: 4 Stars

The book is easy to refer to for information on specific aspects of managing an estate. It has provided me with some good ideas and tips on what needs to be done. There is also quite a bit of information on dealing with trusts, which I am not concerned with. Overall, I'm glad I bought it.
